Street dogs are a familiar sight in many cities. My interest in them started when I saw one in a garden near India Gate, Delhi. The dog belonged to a reputed breed but had been abandoned by its owner recently. It was in a state of shock and trauma as it had never experienced the harsh street life before. Since then, I have made it a habit to capture photos of street dogs whenever I am out shooting on the streets. Here are some photos of the street dogs living on the streets of Kolkata. Each one has its own unique character.
